On the evening of April 14, the NBA regular season of the 09-10 season officially ended, and the rankings of the teams in the East and West were also settled.

In the West, perhaps it is the butterfly effect brought by Li Ze, the Lakers are in hot form this season, with an amazing 62-20 record, followed by the Thunder, who still have a 61-21 record despite consecutive losses at the end of the regular season.

In third place is the Mavericks with 56 wins and 26 losses, and although the addition of Caron Butler did not have the desired effect, the Mavericks still maintained the third place in the West this season thanks to the excellent play of Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd.

After that, the rankings are the Suns, Jazz, Nuggets, Spurs, and Trail Blazers, and the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th places are each one win away, which is almost a roll...

The dust of the regular season has settled, and the first-round matchups of the playoffs are also completely clear, Lakers vs Trail Blazers, Suns vs Jazz; Thunder vs. Spurs, Mavericks vs. Nuggets.

The schedule has also been set, with the playoffs in the West set to take place on April 18, with teams having four days to rest.

Compared to the teams in the West, the top teams in the East have locked up their playoff spots early, and the only suspense is which team will catch the last train to the playoffs, and the result is that the Bulls have the last laugh.

With 41 wins and 41 losses, the Bulls successfully held on to the 8th place in the final stage with their tenacious defense, while the 40-win Raptors missed the playoffs, which also made the team's star star, Dragon King Chris Bosh more and more dissatisfied.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a staggering 63-19 record to top the league, and if nothing unexpected happens, LeBron James will also win the MVP of the regular season.

They were followed by the 59-win Magic, with the Happy Beast Dwight Howard and Vince Carter duo battering in the East, and Howard showing his dominance on the defensive end, with DPOY already beckoning to him again.

The Atlanta Hawks are in third place with a 53-win record, the Celtics are in fourth place with 50 wins, followed by the Heat, Bucks, Bobcats and Bulls.

The first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs will be played on April 17, and many NBA fans can't wait.

The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean is the 15th at this time, Thursday, the last round of the regular season, fans have to go to Sina Sports to watch the game, when they saw the Thunder team easily defeat the Grizzlies at home, the host Ke Xiaofan also sighed and said:

"Although the Rockets failed to make the playoffs this season, everyone can also pay more attention to the Thunder, and I believe that no one will question Li Ze now, he played a near-perfect rookie season."

"He averaged 22.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.2 turnovers per game, shooting 46.9% from the field and 38.6% from three-point range."

"If the Thunder didn't stay in the second half, I believe Li Ze's average points per game could even reach about 24 points, and after the All-Star break, Li Ze also began to reduce his dominance of the ball, which also affected the assist statistics."

"But basketball games are like this, it can't be done by one person, Li Ze has played such a result, he is already a rookie at the historical level, I personally feel that Li Ze is stronger than LeBron James in his rookie period!"

After the guest Yang Yi saw the data provided by the director team, he said that it was too strong in his heart! If you don't go through the program, start blowing immediately!

The host Ke Xiaofan didn't think there was a problem when he heard Yang Yi's words, the data was fully surrounded, and it was normal for LeBron James, who surpassed the rookie, but there was still a period of time in the live broadcast, and he continued to chat:

"Then Mr. Yang, what skills do you think Li Ze should improve next season? I believe that Li Ze still has potential to be tapped. ”

"I think Li Ze will improve his defensive ability, in fact, in many games we can see, Li Ze rarely makes tackles, he is more to maintain his defensive position, and at the end of the season, we can see a few consecutive steals in a game."

"I think it's the defensive scale he's adapting to the league, and rookie players are easily plagued by fouls, but that doesn't happen with Li Ze, there's no rookie wall, no foul troubles, no defensive problems."

"As Amika's peers say, Li Ze is Tim Duncan on the guard line, and his maturity has completely surpassed that of his rookies in the same period, and I personally think he has the quality of an All-Star starter."

"I believe that Li Ze will definitely improve his defensive ability next season, he has this physical condition, and, after a season of training, he will be more suitable for the NBA's blowing scale, we can look forward to the changes of Li Ze next season."

The host Ke Xiaofan was a little helpless after hearing the words of the guest Yang Yi, he blew too hard, and he couldn't catch it, so he had to change the topic:

"After talking about Li Ze's personal performance, let's talk about the Thunder playoffs, meet the Spurs in the first round, if you win, you will have to compete with the winner of the Mavericks and Nuggets in the semifinals for the finals, Mr. Yang, where do you think the Thunder can go?"

"It's really hard to say, after all, the Thunder is a young team, and the core players are all rookies, so if we really have some difficulties, we can't say what we can do."

"But the Thunder's schedule is really difficult enough, even past the Spurs, the Mavericks and the Nuggets are not easy to play, the Mavericks have superstar big men like Dirk Nowitzki, and the Nuggets made it to the Western Conference Finals last year."

"Every round of the Thunder encounters opponents with superstars, big men, and veterans in the opposing lineup, so don't be surprised if you really want to be out in the first round, after all, the Thunder is a rookie team, and the playoffs and the regular season are completely different games."

Yang Yi is not too optimistic about the Thunder team, the core players are too young, and the team's internal shortcomings are obvious, so he gave the fans a preventive shot in advance, saving the Thunder team from playing badly, and everyone sprayed Li Ze after the game...

"Thank you Mr. Yang for your comments, our director team also edited a wonderful short film of Li Ze's regular season for the fans, due to time limitations, there are many beautiful goals that have not been included, I watched it in advance, it is really very exciting, you can enjoy it!"

The whole short film is 5 minutes and 32 seconds long, and many shots are Li Ze's bells and whistles in the first half of the season and fierce separation, although the editing technique is mediocre, Li Ze plays really beautifully, and the fans are enthusiastic to watch...

After seeing this short video, most fans also ran to the Tiger Fight forum to start expressing their feelings:

"It's so awesome! It's a beast, I haven't watched Michael Jordan's rookie season, but it's at the level of Li Ze! ”

"I've watched LeBron James' rookie season, Li Ze is definitely stronger than James, has better projection, and all kinds of techniques are 8 streets away from James."

"I've watched Iverson's rookie season, but I think Li Ze is better, even though he doesn't have a hand on the perimeter right now

check, but Li Ze's hit rate is really too high! ”

"I checked Jordan's rookie stats, averaging 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 2.4 steals, 0.8 blocks and 3.5 turnovers per game, shooting 51.5% from the field and 17.3% from three-point range.

"What kind of monster is this?? Kemi and Jamie came out to say something, don't brag about Jordan's successor in the future, it's not a level at all, Li Ze is relatively close, think about it this way, Li Zeniu X! ”

"If Li Ze shoots less catch-pot balls this season, maybe the shooting rate can go up a little, this is called getting close to Jordan, not relying on walking, not relying on free throws, Li Ze is too powerful!"

Comey and Jamie didn't post anymore, after all, Kobe didn't even get the best rookie, LeBron James was completely crushed by Li Ze on Excel, and the two groups were all out of power, on this day, Tiger Pounce finally became Ze Pounce...

......

After the regular season, head coach Brooks gave a chicken soup speech in the locker room, screaming the big guys excitedly, and then the team announced a day off for the players to have a good rest.

After Li Ze returned to his home in Russia, he directly covered his head and fell asleep, everything was settled, and he didn't have to think about the opponents he might face in the playoffs, and Li Ze's somewhat tense spirit finally relaxed completely.

On the morning of the second day, this Li Ze was completely resurrected, and the B+-grade functional drink was an artifact in the intensive competition, which could always keep Li Ze's physical strength full.

While eating breakfast, Li Ze felt that most of the fullness in his body had been reduced, and he understood that this was because his body was about to completely digest the strengthening effect brought by B+ grade functional drinks.

However, at present, the body attribute column has not been updated, and according to the past rules, the attributes of the current stage should not be displayed until the new functional drink is updated, which Li Ze is very much looking forward to.

The playoffs are about to start, and Li Ze feels that it is time to post a tweet to show his attitude:

Fantastic season, incredible team, playoffs, I'll give it my all! OKC！ Race for the championship! #雷霆队伐木累#季后赛中的最佳新秀#达顿家的孩子 (Crown.jpg)

As soon as he pushed him out, he received a bunch of messages from Russian city fans, automatically ignoring some' speeches, Li Ze nodded with satisfaction, and most of the fans who skyrocketed again should be live fans, Chapman really didn't lie to him.

On April 16th, the Thunder team completely entered the state of playoff preparation, after a season of running-in, several sets of basic tactics, everyone has been skillful, a variety of derivative routines, after the tempering of the regular season, but also summed up several sets of playing styles suitable for the team.

What the Brooks coaches and coaching staff have to do at this time is to speed up the team's handling of the ball, whether it is offensive or defensive, with a clear purpose and a resolute play.

"Kevin, you have to be careful when you play, don't dribble too much, the Spurs will definitely defend you in a pressing way, and the offensive rhythm after receiving the ball should be faster."

"Russell, you are the same, whether it is a high block or a simple UCLA cut, you have to play more resolutely, don't worry about the problem of shooting percentage, if you can't shoot, we will quickly return to defense."

"Very well, Kayce, that's the rhythm, Green, adjust your screen angle again, watch the movement, I don't want to see you get fouled in the playoffs."

This time, the Thunder team practiced a simple UCLA cut-in tactic, and the director of the coach put forward new requirements, no matter who the outside three attacked, the pace must be fast!

In the offensive round just now, Li Ze was a simple reversal, through Jeff Green's cover, easily got rid of Soflosa's defense, received Durant's pass, dribbled two steps, and drifted the ball into the middle distance on the right side.

The whole process took less than 5 seconds, and compared with the regular season, the coaching staff let go of the restrictions on Li Ze's shots, and in terms of the team's tactical position, he has basically been equated with Durant.

"Great offensive options, guys, that's it, we're going to avoid getting too entangled with the Spurs, we're going to try to break them down on the outside, Russell, watch your defensive zone!"

“......”

By the end of the afternoon training session, Turtle Turtle had a helpless expression on his face, today he felt average, and the offense seemed very hesitant, but Coach Brooks frequently asked him to shoot a lot, and the result was naturally Bang Bang Iron, and he was criticized by the coaching staff again...

"I'm going to have to re-polish my shooting in the offseason, and it's so painful not to shoot in an offensive system like that."

When Li Ze heard the turtle's words, he smiled and comforted:

"You've been steadily shooting from the outside this season, and in the offseason, I would suggest recalibrating the way you shoot and have your trainer talk to Tony, who is an absolute expert."

Durant has been at home in training sessions and has completely changed his style of play this season, completely abandoning the playmaking and focusing on finishing, which he can easily do with the demands of the coaching staff.

It's just that the sense of crisis in Durant's heart has never dissipated, Li Ze's progress is too fast, the other party is even more comprehensive than his skills, and he always feels that his core tactical position is about to be robbed, but the playoffs are about to start, and Durant has temporarily put down his careful thoughts.

After a simple sip of water, Durant began to talk about gossip with everyone:

"Stern announced the team's salary cap for next season, $56.1 million, but I read a news report that the Lakers' total salary has exceeded $91 million, and it's unbelievable, where are they spending all their money?"

"The luxury tax can't limit these big city teams anymore, and I think the league may have a new luxury tax rule."

Of course, Li Ze also saw the news report, and he didn't expect the Lakers' salary to be so high, and if he wanted to win the championship, he had to spend more American knives...

"Kayce is right, this total salary is already too much more than the salary cap, the union has not reached an agreement with the alliance right now, and I feel that the day when the alliance will shut down is not far off."

As a role player, Collison has been keeping an eye on the news, and he's pretty much certain that the league is bound to go to a standstill.

"Big city teams are like that, they have endless money, tickets are never sold, look at the poor Hornets, a hurricane has destroyed them, hey, don't stop it, I really don't have any money in my hands..."

Jeff Green spends a bit lavishly, and there are several daily chains, not to mention those luxury goods, although he didn't max out his credit card, but the deposit or anything really didn't exist.

"Don't think about that, let's open, the Eastern Conference playoffs will start tomorrow, everyone can press as you like!"

"There is not much suspense, the Cavaliers, Celtics, Magic, and Hawks will definitely sweep the opponent gentlemen, and I will finish the first round 4:1."

"I pressed 4:0, the gap between the Eastern teams is large, and the sweep must happen frequently!"

Li Ze saw his teammates betting enthusiastically, and the memory in his mind did not have this impression, but judging from the situation of playing against the eastern team this season, the top 4 teams do have the strength to crush, thinking of this, he secretly complained in his heart:

"It's still comfortable in the playoffs in the East..."

On the evening of the 18th, the first round of the playoffs between the Thunder and the Spurs was about to start, and there was still about an hour before the start of the game.

Tonight, the Thunder's cheering T-shirt is dark blue, with the three letters OKC on the chest, and at the same time, the uniform team is also equipped with white handkerchiefs for the audience, this is the team's first playoff game after moving to Russia, and the Thunder team is very serious.

The Ford Center has a capacity of 19,500 people, and tickets for the playoffs have long been sold out by Russian city fans, many of whom have not grabbed tickets are complaining that there are too few seats in the stadium, and everyone wants to come to the scene to support their home team.

After the audience entered, everyone consciously put on dark blue cheering T-shirts, and the scene instantly turned into a blue ocean, and the stadium of nearly 20,000 people was full at this time, and the atmosphere of the scene has become extremely warm.

Before the game, in the Thunder locker room, Coach Brooks did not talk about specific tactical arrangements, but gave everyone a bowl of chicken soup for the soul:

'From 23 wins last season to 61 wins this season, we had a fantastic season with 60 wins in the regular season, which is a great achievement, but we managed to do it despite being relaxed in the second half of the season.

"Guys, we have to believe in our teammates, believe in the strength of the team, play with confidence, the Spurs are not our opponents at all, go and enjoy the game, the fans of the city have been looking forward to this day for a long time!"

"The playoffs are our stage! Go for it! Lads! ”

"Ahh 10,000, spitting, crushing, and logging tired! ”

Unlike the Thunder's chicken soup for the soul, the Spurs, as a perennial team that enters the playoffs, with Popovich and GDP in the team, the locker room is no different from the regular season, and everyone looks at the old man in front of the tactical board with a focused expression.

While writing and drawing on the tactical board, Popovich kept explaining to his teammates:

"Just like we did in our previous training sessions, we have to press Durant and Lee with defense on the outside, and after the opening, pay attention to the referee's blowing scale, after all, this is the opponent's home field."

"On the defensive end, I want to emphasize one last thing, try to force the Thunder to produce a lot of pull-up mid-range jumpers, and if the opponent breaks through the first line of defense, it doesn't matter, keep defending, Thiem will solve the problem."

"If the opponent uses a joint defense, Manu, you know what to do, guys, our goal is to get a win at the opponent's home stadium, this game, we have to give it our all! Do you understand? ”

“Yes，

sir！ ”

Tonight, UCLA's teammates also came to cheer for Li Ze and Turtle, and the two specially selected a position close to the Thunder's bench for everyone.

"Is this the atmosphere of the playoffs, the fans in the city are really enthusiastic, if only next season, the 76 team can also make the playoffs."

Jrue Holiday has been very envious since he entered the Ford Center arena, the 76ers' home court was quite enthusiastic at the beginning of the new season, but then the team's record was stretched, and at the end of the regular season, the fans would even leave the game early, and the Thunder side is not comparable at all...

"You still have a chance in the East, and that guy from Bamot will make the playoffs with the Bucks, but it's so difficult in the West, and I think it's still hard for the Timberwolves to make the playoffs next season..."

Kevin Love has already resigned himself to his fate, as soon as he saw the records of the top teams in the West, he was directly numb, it is estimated that next season, the Timberwolves can win a few more games, and there is a high probability that the playoffs will be no play.

"You can still imagine the future, I don't know if the Hornets will be disbanded next season, just played a starter for half a season, and it turned out to be like this, hey..."

Love and Holiday couldn't help but sympathize with the unlucky guy when they heard Darren Collison's complaints, and there was nothing the two of them could do about the Hornets' situation.

The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean naturally also broadcast the first round of this playoffs, and the host Yu Jia and guest Zhang Weiping chatted a lot about Li Ze before the game, and they were already dry at this time...

"We've got the starting line-up ahead of us and, to everyone's surprise, Coach Popovich has taken the initiative to change the line-up, putting Manu Ginobili in the starting line-up and putting Tony Parker on the bench at the same time."

"In this way, the Spurs' starting five are: George Hill, Manu Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, Tim Duncan, Antonio McDyes."

"And the Thunder side is still in the regular rotation, Russell Westbrook and Li Ze partner in the backcourt, Kevin Durant and Jeff Green on the front, Nunard Kostic at center, Coach Zhang, what do you think of the Spurs' lineup?"

"I think Coach Popovich put Manu Ginobili to the starter, mainly to defend Li Ze, and it has been proven in the regular season that George Hill has a huge disadvantage in the position, and his height and weight are completely incompatible with Li Ze."

"But it is also unknown whether such an adjustment will be effective, after all, we don't know what Li Ze's state is in this game, and at the same time, I think George Hill should be a fake starter, and the Spurs' biggest reliance is still the GDP combination!"

Director Zhang didn't expect the Spurs to change the positions of Ginobili and Parker, he was a little worried about Li Ze's performance in this game, the Spurs were really old fritters.

"Let's return the screen to the front, the home team has already started to enter!"

At the entrance ceremony of the playoffs, the Thunder team also spent some careful thought, and their teammates updated their bells and whistles when they played, and those with poor memory are really easy to remember...

When the lights went out at Ford Center, the home DJs and the crowd began to yell wildly, and when Li Ze and Durant appeared, the atmosphere reached a climax.

"Let's welcome the Thunder's All-Star, the rookie of the season, from UCLA,

Number

10，Kayce-LI——！ ”

"Ah!!h

The cheers of nearly 20,000 people made Li Ze feel enthusiastic, which was different from the previous NCAA games, although there were many fewer spectators in the venue, but the scene was full of Russian fans who supported the Thunder.

Li Ze and each of his teammates came to a set of bells and whistles, and when they finally warmed up, they had a simple awkward dance with the turtle, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the turtle game, Li Ze also fought...

Noticing that the Spurs actually let Ginobili start, Li Ze was a little surprised, but immediately reacted, if he really wanted to play two short guards, the Spurs would probably start cold.

The Thunder's starters tonight have a uniform color scheme of protective gear, all of which are white, and with Adidas's somewhat loose jersey, the overall look is still very handsome.

The game was about to start, Li Ze noticed that Durant was still a little nervous, and for the first time he entered the playoffs, Durant's mother came directly to the scene to cheer for her son, but this also made Durant look a little restrained.

"What's wrong Kevin, you look a little nervous, don't worry, with me, we'll definitely win this game easily."

“？？？”

Durant was speechless when he heard Li Ze's words, he had already discovered that Li Ze had been a little inflated recently, and he always regarded himself as the boss, but after hearing Li Ze's words, Durant's mood suddenly stabilized.

"Just don't keep striking iron after the opening! Come on, Bro! ”

The two briefly exchanged fists, and the referee signaled for both players to come to the center of the court, with Kostic and Tim Duncan standing in the center circle ready to jump.

"CCTV, what you're seeing now is the first round of the Western Conference playoffs in the '09-10 season, the Thunder vs. the Spurs, and after the opening, Duncan jumped to the ball for the Spurs, and George Hill dribbled the ball across half court."

The Thunder continued to use their magic 32 defense in this game, in this defensive system, Li Ze can decide for himself the specific way he defends the defender, and Durant and Turtle Turtle can guard their own defensive area.

From the perspective of positioning, Li Ze and Kostic are responsible for one side, Durant and Jeff Green are responsible for the other side, and the turtle is at the top of the arc, which is also a special arrangement of the coaching staff.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

The crowd at Ford Center, led by a live DJ, also began to cheer for the team's defense.

After passing the ball a few times on the outside, there was no problem with the Thunder's defensive positioning, the Spurs continued to pass the ball, and did not get an open three-point shot in the underdog, and with 12 seconds left on the offensive time, George Hill gave the ball directly to Duncan, who asked for the ball in the low post.

As soon as Duncan received the ball, Durant's assistant defense had already come over, but Duncan's handling of the ball was faster, and he quickly turned to the baseline after taking a step to the line with his left hand, and then shot lightly with his right hand.

"Huh...", two easy points under the basket.

"Oh!"

The audience at the scene let out a sigh, Durant's defense was already in place, but Duncan's smooth moves still completed the offense.

Coach Brooks gave his players a thumbs up on the court, signaling that there was no problem with the defense, and the Thunder quickly sent the baseline ball, and the turtle quickly dribbled across the half court, while giving his teammates an offensive gesture.

“OKC！ OKC！ OKC！ ”

Before scoring their first goal, the crowd at Ford Center stood and watched while shouting on the team's attack.

The tactical strategy customized by Brooks head coach and coaching staff before the game was unusually simple and rough, and after the opening game, it was to hit Li Ze and Durant first, and this offense, Jeff Green made a blank cover for Li Ze at 45 degrees on the left side of the three-point line.

Due to the average quality of the cover, Li Ze failed to shake off Ginobili's defense in time, and the opponent always clung to Li Ze on the left side, but when Li Ze quickly moved to the top of the arc and received a pass from the turtle.

The right hand suddenly pulled back under the crotch, and because of inertia, Ginobili was completely shaken away by this action, and without waiting for the opponent to come back to his senses, Li Ze adjusted his pace, quickly closed the ball, and jumped outside the three-point line.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

When Li Ze raised three fingers and retreated with a smile on his face, the Ford Center Arena immediately erupted in huge cheers.

"Hoo!!"

The audience began to frantically shake the white handkerchief in their hands, the blue and white sea was constantly rolling, and a huge sound exploded in the ears of the players.

"What a ball! Li Ze scored a three-pointer at the beginning, the atmosphere at the scene was incredible, we can all clearly hear the shouts on the scene, the atmosphere of the Thunder team at home is really nothing to say! ”

When Director Zhang saw that Li Ze easily shook off Ginobili and scored a three-pointer after the opening, he often breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and began to continue the commentary happily.

The Spurs put Ginobili in the starting line-up, not just expecting him defensively, but the coaching staff also expecting Ginobili to take on more responsibility on the offensive end.

After the opening, George Hill was a little hesitant on the offensive end, and the Thunder's joint defense allowed George Hill to have some outside shots, but he was only a rookie after all, and he didn't seize the vacancy opportunity in time.

Ginobili naturally spotted George Hill's situation and wanted to rely on Antonio's cover to get rid of Li Ze's defense, and the Spurs chose a similar tactic to the Thunder's last round.

But Li Ze sensitively squeezed through the cover, George Hill stopped the ball outside the three-point line at this time, and at this moment, the turtle's defense also pressed up, which made the ball passed to Ginobili a little weak and too slow.

Li Ze easily predicted the direction of the ball, exerted his body, waved his long arm, intercepted in advance, poked the ball away, noticed that Ginobili still wanted to come over to grab the ball, grabbed the ball with one hand and threw the ball forward.

After receiving the ball, the turtle rushed up in three steps, bent his body into a big bow, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

"Bang...", the conversion was slammed into the hand.

"Ahh

Turtle's dunk once again detonated the atmosphere of the scene, and the excited Russian fans began to scream again, venting their excitement in their hearts.

"He's fouled! Sir, the steal just now was definitely a foul! ”

Seeing the Thunder score easily again, Popovich head coach began to complain about the referee's blowing scale, trying to put pressure on the referee through his own complaints, but the linesman just smiled and motioned for Popovich to return to his position.

The steal just now was a test for Li Ze, since the referee allowed such a scale, and then Li Ze's defense gradually became presumptuous, and he strengthened his aggressiveness in the online defense.

Ginobili felt that his offensive rhythm was completely destroyed by Li Ze's defense, which would be accompanied by physical confrontation when receiving the ball on the line, and once he broke through to the free throw line, Li Ze also began to cut the ball.

After all, he rarely loses position, and the game has just begun, so he doesn't need to worry about fouls for the time being, and his defensive actions naturally begin to be presumptuous.

After more than two minutes in the first quarter, the Spurs' offense relied more on Duncan's low post, and there were several open three-point opportunities on the outside, all of which were not grasped, and Jefferson and Ginobili were both iron...

Coach Popovich sensed that the game was getting out of hand, and the Thunder offense round, Durant received a pass from the turtle at the top of the arc outside the three-point line through Kostic's cover, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and suddenly dribbled behind the ball in the middle of the journey, and then made a quick stop jump shot.

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

Jefferson was completely helpless, and it took about 4 seconds for Durant to shoot from receiving the ball to shooting, and this kind of efficient offense that relied entirely on physical talent made the Spurs' defense difficult to handle.

The outside defensive pressure that Popovich wants can't be played at all, Li Ze and Durant can always easily send the ball to the basket in the face of such defense, and some irony is that the Spurs' outside line is being frantically pressed by the Thunder...

Popovich's favored George Hill was useless on the court, and he couldn't find a suitable way to score or effectively organize the team's offense against the Thunder's defense.

When the first quarter was 5:32 and Li Ze assisted Kostic to score two easy points under the basket, Popovich couldn't sit still anymore and immediately called a timeout.

At present, the score on the court is 10:18, and the Thunder's offensive rhythm is too fast, and the Spurs can't even keep up with the opponent's rhythm...

On the Spurs bench, Popovich said calmly:

"Tony, play immediately, we have to respond on the outside, don't hesitate, shoot immediately when there is an opportunity, the opponent's joint defense is very small, Tony, after you play, play more mid-distance after blocking and dismantling, and control the mistakes."

The baby rookie is unreliable, and in the end he still has to rely on the GDP combination, and after the timeout, the Spurs' offense gradually improved, but they still failed to hit an open three-point in time from the outside.

A large part of the reason is because the Thunder put too much pressure on the Spurs on the offensive end, and every time they defend, they let the players do their best.

On the Thunder's offensive round, after Li Ze and Jeff Green made a cross cover on the baseline, they carried Ginobili behind them with their bodies and received a pass from the turtle in the left waist position.

Directly exert force, quickly lean back, dribble a step to the line with his right hand, and then quickly turn to the baseline to close the ball, and throw a large backward jumper.

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

"Beautiful goal! With such a backswing, it is difficult for Ginobili to defend in place, as long as Li Ze is allowed to go to this position, then this attack will be scored nine times out of ten. ”

Host Yu Jia didn't expect Li Ze to play more fiercely on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the playoffs, the most obvious point is that Li Ze strengthened his shots and paid more attention to the protection of rebounds.

The Spurs attacked, when Duncan received the ball in the low post, Durant did not hesitate to immediately pinch and completely let go of Jefferson on the outside, Duncan's ball speed was also very fast, and after receiving the pass, Jefferson on the outside line made another empty three-point shot before the turtle defense was in place.

"Bang...", continue to strike iron.

The long rebound jumped directly into the turtle's hand, and immediately launched a conversion attack, the turtle with the ball was like a small tank, constantly accelerating in a straight line, carrying Tony Parker on his side, steadily protecting the ball in his hand, and lightly picking up the basket with his left hand to score the ball.

"Ahh

The fans of the city threw up their handkerchiefs again, and everyone frantically vented their excitement in their hearts.

Looking back, Tony Parker took advantage of Duncan's high post block and hit a long two points again, the Thunder quickly sent a baseline ball, Li Ze dribbled the ball across the half court, looked at Jefferson in front of him, held the ball in his right hand, and suddenly raised his body's center of gravity.

Leaning forward slightly, he quickly dribbled under his crotch and changed direction in front of his body, with a large amplitude and strong dribble, which directly shook Jefferson into a stake, at this time Li Ze accelerated his breakthrough with his right hand dribble, just passed the free throw line, and immediately exerted his strength with both feet, and quickly rose into the air.

Face Duncan's defense and smash the ball into the basket with one arm!

"Bang...", the switch attack, the dunk is successful.

"Ahh "Hah!"

After landing on the ground, Li Ze let out an angry roar, and his teammates also shouted around him, the ball was so explosive that the audience at the Ford Center Arena had already thrown off the white handkerchiefs...

"Incredible! Li Ze's Duncan who is directly blocked! This ball is so scary! ”

The host Yu Jia almost screamed, in the playoffs, it is very rare to have such a distant dunk.

Coach Brooks threw his fists excitedly on the sidelines, while Popovich yelled on the sidelines and immediately sat back on the bench, knowing that this game was basically gone...

At the end of the first quarter, at 22:38, the Thunder team went crazy in the first quarter, and the accurate projection of Li Ze and Durant, coupled with the crazy conversion of the turtle, made the Thunder's offensive rhythm fast...

In the following game, the Thunder team, which entered the downwind war god mode, played more and more, while the Spurs shot more and more, and the three-point shot was slow to respond, and the Thunder team directly established the victory of the game in the first quarter.

At 96:121, the Thunder beat the Spurs at home, and with such a score, it's hard to believe that this is a playoff game...

After the game, the Spurs players quickly left the court, and the Ford Center Arena was full of jubilation, and Li Ze scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 turnovers and 2 steals in this game.

"Cool!! I love Kayce! ”

“OKC！ OKC！ OKC！ ”

Li Ze kept waving to the fans of the Russian City on the sidelines, and he was very satisfied with the performance of this game.

Seeing that the fans were still shouting, Li Ze thought proudly:

"What is talent basketball?"
