On April 26, after the Thunder returned to the city, they were warmly welcomed by the local fans, and the score has come to 3:1, and the Thunder may end the series at home tomorrow night, which makes all the Russian city fans ecstatic.

However, due to the game tomorrow, the fans who picked up the airport still restrained some joy, and when the final result is settled, it is not too late for everyone to have a carnival!

It's just that on Reddit, Thunder fans are already about to go crazy, entering the playoffs for the first time, and are about to easily break through the first round.

"Rookie team can't do it? Hehe, that's because your talent is not enough, look at our Thunder team, talent is to do whatever you want! ”

"Kayce is my hero, and I want to thank Presti for selecting him to the Thunder, and I am now incredibly convinced that he is the superstar of the future!"

"No, he's a superstar now, and LeBron James can't beat Kayce! Epic individual offensive performance, in the third quarter of the game, I was on my knees at home watching the game, and I loved that three-pointer to death! ”

"Kayce was shooting 100 percent from the field until he hit that three-pointer, and in the second quarter, I really thought the Spurs were going to break us, and they picked up from the outside, and after the second quarter, I knew we were going to win this game."

"Yes, the experience of the regular season tells us that we have the best offense in the first quarter, and we will explode in the third quarter, and if we can't take the lead, then the game will probably be lost, and that's how G3 lost."

"KD should be thankful for Kayce, he played terrible in the first two quarters, and it was extremely difficult for him to take every shot against Jefferson's defense, but luckily after taking the lead in the third quarter, the familiar KD came back, and oh my god, we were close to losing."

"If we win tomorrow night, I'm sure I'll buy out of Kayce's signature sneakers in the future, and maybe we're witnessing the rise of another Michael Jordan!"

TNT's 24-hour NBA program also began to review the performance of the G4 teams in the first round, with host Earnie Johnson and commentators Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley appearing at the same time.

"First of all, congratulations to the Magic, who swept the Bobcats 4-0 in the first round, the combination of Dwight Howard and Vince Carter completely dominated the game, the Cavaliers and Celtics won the game again, and the Hawks and Bucks are about to start the battle of Kings Mountain, it seems that the situation is similar in the East and West."

Host Earny Johnson briefly recounted the results of the G4 game, at which point Kenny Smith picked up and continued:

"It's true that the situation in the West is not complicated, the teams in the first half of the region have played very well, all of them have won games on the road, the only thing that surprised me is the matchup between the Thunder and the Spurs, maybe tomorrow night, the Thunder will advance to the semifinals."

Charles-Barkley noticed that the two people next to him were looking at him, and immediately raised his hand in surrender and said:

"OK, I did underestimate the young Thunder, I admit I was wrong in my prediction, at 3:1, there is not much suspense in this series, Kayce, Kevin, you did win with a jumper!"

"Haha, we like your candor, Charles, it looks like you think they're going to win their next game at home, and we couldn't agree more, the Spurs have a clear disadvantage on the outside."

Host Ernnie Johnson chuckled and then briefly commented on the matchup.

"Manu Ginobili is about to turn 33 and Kayce is not yet 20, and I find it hard to believe that a rookie would play like that in the playoffs if he hadn't seen it firsthand."

Charles Barkley immediately pursed his lips when he heard Kenny Smith's words, and complained in a deep voice:

"Have you forgotten Michael Jordan? We don't need to make a fuss about this even better playoff in his rookie season, the Thunder don't have a great big man, but they're still strong, and I believe they could make it to the Western Conference Finals. ”

"Wow! Charles's prediction is back in the picture, let's wait and see, but the recent hot news is not focused on the boys, the Heat are now 1-3 down, in the offseason, do you think Wade will team up with LeBron James? ”

Host Ernnie Johnson suddenly turned the conversation back to the hottest topic in the league lately.

"Although Wade said that he and James would work well together when they played together, but both of them are actually used to having the ball in their hands, and I think Chris Bosh may join forces with Wade, and the two will complement each other inside, one outside."

Sure - Smith immediately voiced his opinion.

"If the Heat lose, they're going to make up for it next season, but LeBron James is definitely not going to Miami, he's a Cleveland hero, he's respected locally, he's on a 63-win record this season, teaming up with another MVP? It's something that can't happen. ”

Host Earlnie Johnson heard Barkley's words and suddenly said:

"Guys, what if these three guys played together on the same team?"

"Haha, the Alliance won't allow that to happen!"

......

After returning to the city from San Antonio, Coach Brooks gave his players another day off, although they will face the Spurs at home on the night of the 27th, but the 3:1 lead has made everyone put their hearts in their stomachs...

The deeper reason is that the coaching staff is worried about Li Ze's physical problems, after all, G4 has played 44 minutes, almost the whole game, and everyone is worried that Li Ze's physical fitness will not fully recover after only two days of rest.

It's just that Li Ze, who returned to his home in Russia, didn't know what the coaching staff was thinking, at this time he had been resurrected with full blood, and through the hard work of G4, another bronze badge was successfully upgraded!

Achievement Badge [Circus Three]: 1/500

Improve the ability to shoot difficult three-point shots after dribbling, and improve the stability of shots.

Although the second attribute does not directly increase the hit rate, the effect after upgrading is still relatively significant, and Tony's team, who are training with Li Ze at his home in the city, has a deep understanding of this...

"Do you feel that Kayce's three-point shot after combining the ball seems to be more fluid, although it is just training, but this shooting rate is too exaggerated."

Trainer Tony couldn't help but muttered to Wagner beside him when he saw his brother Meg wielding an obstacle stick and couldn't effectively interfere with Li Ze.

"That's not your delusion, Kayce's shooting power seems to be smoother, but there are still some tests to follow-up, I've been worrying about his diet recently, this guy's appetite is getting better and better, and the body's metabolic ability seems to have undergone some changes."

Dietitian Wagner has adjusted his diet three times this season, but Li Ze's body is like a child who can't get enough to eat, always craving more nutrients, and he is even a little worried that Li Ze will suddenly become a fat man in the offseason.

At this time, Li Ze's left hand was in

and

After out, he dribbled quickly behind his back, held the ball in his right hand and dribbled at a fast pace, and after two dribbles that were extremely fast on the spot, he suddenly changed direction in front of his body, and he made a quick stop jump shot outside the three-point line.

"Hmm..."

The three-point shot went into the net hollow, and in this kind of low-intensity training, his shooting rate was close to 100%, but after throwing this ball, Li Ze shook his head and said with some dissatisfaction:

"I'm hoping to cut down on some wobble movements and keep the ball out of the three-point line, it's too much for me, guys, do you have any good advice?"

Trainer Meg wiped her sweat, and then comforted Li Zelai:

"Kayce, this is caused by defensive pressure, there is absolutely no problem with your fitness, G4 is at the home of the Spurs, the opponent's blowing scale is very loose, if it is really strictly according to No

Hand

Check to blow the penalty, Ginobili will be fouled in the third quarter, and you have absolutely no problem playing now. ”

Tony, who was standing aside, also spoke at this time:

"Just like we suggested to you in the middle of the season, simple in

and

The out move works best for you, with little difference between your left and right hands, which gives you a huge advantage when attacking, and if the big man is defending you on the outside, you have a good chance of getting past the opponent in one step. ”

"Kayce, in a normal game, in fact, it is rare to appear outside the three-point line to frequently receive the ball and attack the frame, and the current style of play is definitely the most suitable for you."

Li Ze thought about it, and felt that the trainers were right, the last game was a headwind output, and it was normal for physical problems to occur, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart, so he couldn't help but complain:

"If only I were like Michael Jordan, a simple in

and

out, directly shake out the offensive space, so that you can save a lot of physical energy. ”

"Well, Kayce, although you are very good, physical fitness is largely determined by nature, and many things cannot be made up for by technology!"

“......”

On April 27, the NBA league announced the winner of the 09~10 season SMOY (Best Sixth Man), Jamal Crawford of the Hawks, with 52.82% of the votes, easily crushed all opponents and won this award.

In the afternoon training session, everyone on the Thunder bench secretly felt a lemon in their hearts when they heard that Crawford had won the award.

The Thunder's water cooler keepers are particularly painful because of Coach Brooks' penchant for short rotations, and while they have a lot of playing time in the fourth quarter of the regular season, most role players are more eager to play in regular time.

People like Byron, Etang Thomas, Kyle Wavere, D.J. White and others at the end of the bench are actually rarely in the rotation, and Jamal Crawford's average of 18 points per game makes everyone's envy eyes green.

However, the coaching staff doesn't care about the awards, tonight's G5 win, they will advance to the Western Conference semifinals, seeing that Li Ze's physical fitness does not seem to be affected, Coach Brooks still greeted with concern:

"How is the physical recoveryKayce, tonight's game, you may play a lot of time, if there is a real problem with the fitness, you must communicate with us in time."

"Don't worry, coach, after two days of rest, my physical strength has fully recovered, and it will be good to rotate normally for tonight's game."

Coach Brooks looked at the energetic Li Ze, and finally completely relieved himself, although he returned to the home court, the Spurs were definitely not willing to be swept by the gentlemen, and the opponent would definitely fight fiercely in tonight's game, and the team's thighs must be there!

Durant naturally also paid attention to Li Ze's recovery, he never expected that Li Ze was almost tired and paralyzed in the last game, and in just two days, it seemed that he had completely recovered...

Thinking of the media in Russia blowing Li Ze in the past two days, the limelight has completely overshadowed him, Durant's heart is sour to death, but he is indeed a little sluggish in the away game, which makes him even more depressed...

"I'm going to have to do some strength training in the offseason, I'm the heart of the team!"

The turtle on the side saw Durant looking at Li Ze directly, and immediately stepped forward to pat him, and then said beautifully:

"Kevin, back at home, the Spurs' defensive intensity has definitely dropped, and we can't hold Kayce back tonight!"

The corners of Durant's mouth twitched when he heard this, why did he drag his feet? Holding back the indignation in his heart, he spoke:

"Don't worry, through two away games, I have also thoroughly adapted to the defensive intensity of the Spurs, and we will definitely win by a big margin!"

Jeff Green, who is the god of war with the tailwind, heard Durant's words and said with confidence:

"3-1 lead, no pressure tonight, guys, I'm going to completely destroy them with a three-pointer!"

"Tonight will win!"

"I'm already thinking about the next round of opponents!"

Li Ze saw the state of his teammates and nodded with satisfaction in his heart, the headwind ball is indeed not good, but in the case of a big lead, he believes that his teammates will definitely have an excellent performance tonight!

On the Spurs' side, the morning training session was also focused on recovery training, and in the afternoon, Popovich and the coaching staff discussed tonight's lineup arrangement.

"Greg, let Manu return to the bench tonight, in two days, his fitness has not fully recovered, if he continues to start, the effect may not be too good, in this state, it is difficult for him to limit Lee's play."

Coach Popovich immediately responded when he heard the assistant coach's suggestion:

"It's okay, let's let George and Parker partner in the backcourt, on the opponent's home court, the defense is not dominant, the offense must keep up, I believe George has adapted to the intensity of the Thunder's game, he will play well tonight!"

When everyone heard Popovich's arrangement, they had some doubts in their hearts, but when they thought of the players on the bench, they said helplessly:

"That's all we can do, hopefully George can play the offense we expect, but on the defensive end, we may not have a good way, we lack a player who can play against Lee, it's hard to imagine that the opponent is a rookie, the Thunder are so lucky..."

"Next year we need to make targeted reinforcements, we have to add a striker, and I don't want to see Lee break through our defense with ease!"

And Coach Popovich didn't care about the discussion, and tonight's game, he wanted to give George Hill another chance.

If the opponent still can't play well, then the team will definitely make a move in the offseason, and Popovich silently blessed George Hill in his heart at this time.

"Kid, you must seize the opportunity! I hope to see you again next season. ”

On the evening of the 27th, the Ford Center Arena was once again a sea of blue, and the fans of the Russian City were enthusiastic, tonight, they have a chance to end this series, they are about to advance to the Western Conference semifinals!

There is still half an hour before the start of the game, and the atmosphere is already extremely hot, and the warm-up activities of the sponsors also make the scene full of laughter, and the girls of the cheerleading team are even more hard to twist their butts and shake their waists...

Many Russian city fans entered in advance, just to see Li Ze's warm-up activities, watching Li Ze's bells and whistles dribbling, and the outside shooting, everyone screamed excitedly, this is too accurate, basically never missed!

In the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, in the CCTV studio, the host Yang Jian and the guest Yang Yi also saw Li Ze's warm-up activities through the broadcast signal in front, and after the picture cut back, the two immediately discussed.

"Watching Li Ze's shooting is as simple as drinking water, just a few dribbles, many players in our league do not have such basic skills."

Host Yang Jian couldn't help but sigh at the basketball skills of domestic players.

"It's really incomparable, don't look at Li Ze's dribbling is a little fancy, but he can really use these technical moves in the game, in the last game, Sam Gold, that amplitude, that strength, and confrontation were so strong, many NBA players would not use this kind of action."

"At present, our domestic guard line and forward players are not at the same level as Li Ze, the NBA's scouting vision is really accurate, I went to Russia City to watch Li Ze play in the regular season, it was really strong and fast, next season will definitely be an All-Star starter, and the playoffs are too much of a plus!"

After these rounds of playoffs, Yang Yi has been completely convinced, and has now evolved into a brainless blow...

"I hope to see more domestic players log in to the NBA, and then talk about this game, if the Thunder win at home, then they may face the Mavericks in the next round, after all, the Mavericks also led the Nuggets 3-1, Yang Yi, what do you think of the next game?"

In fact, there is not much to say about this round of competition, and the host Yang Jian began to preview the next round of competition.

"I think as long as the Spurs are passed, the Mavericks are not scary, the Thunder like to play small guards, Westbrook sees Barria, Jason Terry's eyes are shining, and Caron Butler can't restrain Li Ze at all."

"You can't expect old Kidd to lead these young lads! The only advantage is Nowitzki, if the two teams throw three-pointers against each other, I am more optimistic about the Thunder, and the outside defense is more pressing than the Thunder. ”

Host Yang Jian heard Yang Yi's prediction and said in agreement:

"The Mavericks do have some problems on the outside, if Carmelo Anthony could have been more efficient, maybe the Nuggets would have taken the lead, the starting list ahead has come out, Coach Popovich has changed the lineup again, and George Hill is back in the starting lineup."

"The Thunder are still in the regular rotation, and the Spurs' starting five tonight are: Tony Parker, George Hill, Richard Jefferson, Tim Duncan, Antonio McDyce, Popovich really gave George Hill a chance!"

When Yang Yi heard this, he immediately smiled and said:

"After all, back to the home court of the Thunder, the defensive action is too big, the referee will definitely blow you, the Spurs are going to fight for offense, but I am very optimistic about George Hill, to be honest, the body is not right, his height can't defend Li Ze!"

In the Ford Center arena, the live DJ began to roar loudly, passionately introducing the home team's appearance:

"Let's welcome the rookie of the season, the Thunder's All-Star, Mr. Key in the City, from UCLA, Number

10，Kayce-LI——！ ”

"Oh!!"

Li Ze felt the huge sound in his ears, and while sitting with his teammates with bells and whistles, he thought happily in his heart:

"Home is good! The fans of the city are so enthusiastic! ”

On the Spurs' side, everyone was standing in the players' tunnel at this time, listening to the tsunami-like cheers in their ears, and everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts, and George Hill clenched his fists nervously, constantly praying in his heart that he could have a good hand tonight.

It's a big game for George Hill, who is in a contract year, and he likes the Spurs and Popovich's coaching style, but if he can't play the offense the team expects, the offseason contract could be in jeopardy...

In the final warm-up stage before the game, Li Ze saw that George Hill had returned to the starting lineup, and he couldn't help but ask questions:

"Suicide lineup? Popovich that bad old man wouldn't be naïve enough to think that George Hill was going to burst out, would he? ”

When the referee signaled the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, Li Ze also greeted George Hill in a friendly manner:

"Come on! Buddy! Looking forward to aligning with you! ”

George Hill didn't speak, and after a brief fist bump with Lee, he immediately returned to the Spurs, at which point Kostic and Antonio stood in the center circle ready to jump the ball.

"Smack..."

Antonio flotted the ball into the Spurs' half, and when Jefferson received the ball, he immediately passed it to Tony Parker, who first gave his teammates an offensive gesture before slowly using it through the half.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

In the defensive shouts of the spectators at the Ford Center Arena, in the face of the Thunder's joint defense, Duncan went directly to the free throw line to receive the ball, and after Tony Parker handed over the ball, he immediately cut inside, and the Thunder's defense also rotated.

When George Hill stepped up to the line and wanted to have a hand-to-hand exchange with Duncan, Li Ze quickly posted it, and at the home court of Russian City, it was natural to enhance some defensive aggression, which made George Hill helpless to receive the ball away from the three-point line.

At this time, Antonio went up to block the dismantling, Duncan went down, George Hill broke through with his right hand, and Li Ze quickly squeezed through the cover and continued to give George Hill a physical confrontation on his side, feeling that there was no room to shoot at all, so he wanted to give the ball to Duncan in the low post.

But at the moment of George Hill's pass, Li Ze, who predicted the opponent's movements, accurately cut the ball with his left hand, controlled the ball with his right hand and began to accelerate with all his might, rushing through the opponent's half in a few big steps.

Noticed that there were no chasing players behind him, and in the case of 1 to 0 in the front court, Li Ze took off from a long distance, and the powerful windmill was violently buckled!

"Bang...", steal and dunk.

"Ahh OKC！ OKC！ OKC！ ”

The home crowd shouted and flung the white handkerchief in their hands, and it was a wonderful start.

"Li Ze's beautiful steal dunk! Like I said before the game, George Hill may not match the intensity of the game, and the Spurs may have problems with this lineup adjustment. ”

Yang Yi saw that Li Ze had a successful steal at the beginning, and he was in a good mood, and immediately explained with a smile.

When the Spurs attacked again, after continuous transmission from the outside, they immediately gave the ball to Duncan in the right blocking area, and faced Jeff Green's defense, and made a mid-range jumper after three threats.

"Hmm..."

Durant didn't have time to shrink his defense and scored steadily from mid-range.

The Thunder attacked, and Jeff Green ran from outside the three-point line to the three-second zone and made a cross cover with Li Ze, and immediately moved to the right bottom corner.

When Li Ze received the ball with his back in the left waist position, several teammates on the outside also began to move to the left outside the three-point line in order to pull Duncan out of the paint area.

As soon as George Hill saw Li Ze taking the ball, his scalp suddenly felt numb, he didn't know how to defend Li Ze at all, he was too close, afraid of being passed by one step, too far away, and afraid of being pulled out**.

When he was struggling in his heart, Li Ze's shoulders on his back shook slightly, his right hand quickly released the ball, easily erased George Hill's defense, and took off directly after dribbling two big steps.

"Bang...", the breakthrough burst dunk was successful.

"Ahh

The audience at the scene immediately sent huge cheers for Li Ze's goal, and several Russian City fans on the sidelines shouted at George Hill:

"Come home, kid! Kayce will destroy you! ”

"Look at your little body, O God! You don't really want to limit our superstars, do you! ”

"Wow! I bet you won't score more than 10 points in this game, but see the reality! You simply don't have the quality to start. ”

Tony Parker saw that George Hill was a little stunned, and immediately stepped forward to pat the other party, and at the same time reminded him:

"Be attentive! Focus on the game. ”

After just two rounds, Coach Popovich frowned on the sidelines, which was not the performance he expected, and while serving from the baseline, Popovich shouted loudly from the sidelines, reminding Tony Parker to control the pace of the game.

By the time the Spurs were attacking, there were several shifts of strength and weakness, and both George Hill and Jefferson had opportunities to shoot from the outside, but the two did not choose to shoot, but continued to give the ball to Duncan in the low post on the left side.

Noticing the Thunder's defense, he instantly began to shrink again, dribbled to the line with his right hand, immediately closed the ball and turned around, and threw lightly with his left hand.

"Hmmm...", two points from the basket.

Coach Brooks next to him motioned for everyone to stabilize and maintain such a defense, looking relaxed on the surface, but in his heart he thought with envy:

"If Tim Duncan comes to the Thunder, they will definitely be able to break out of the West this season, and the Thunder are lacking such big men..."

After quickly sending the baseline ball, after halftime, Jeff Green and Kostic made a double cover for Durant, and Jefferson, who came to the away side, restrained his defensive movements, but due to the average quality of the Thunder's blocking, he still managed to chase Durant.

However, in the face of such defensive pressure, Durant broke through with the ball in his left hand, used his body against Jefferson, and after dribbling two large steps, he made a pull-up jump shot in the paint area.

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

"Durant is in good shape when he returns to his home court, this is the offensive rhythm of the Thunder, he takes the ball and throws it after covering, completes an attack in 14 seconds, and plays well at the beginning!"

The host Yang Jian saw that the current offense of the Thunder team was all easily hit, and immediately exclaimed.

When more than three minutes were played in the first quarter, Coach Popovich already felt that something was wrong, the Thunder's offense was too easy, and on the Spurs' side, George Hill was completely invisible on the offensive end, and he didn't choose to shoot when there was an opportunity on the outside...

The Spurs' offense from the inside out, from the strong side to the weak side, continued to transfer the ball, easily dismembering the Thunder's defense, George Hill immediately got an open opportunity at 45 degrees outside the left three-point line, but he did not choose to shoot, but accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

This was waited by Li Ze, and the moment he was defended, he secretly used force, and the physical confrontation on his side instantly disrupted George Hill's breakthrough rhythm, but there was not much time left for the attack, so he could only resist it.

George Hill seemed to want to make a change layup to dodge the defense, but Li Ze, who jumped high, was already waiting for him in the air, and saw the right time to directly put a pegboard hat.

After controlling the ball, he used his right arm to quickly throw the ball to the whole court, and after the turtle received the ball, Tony Parker had already returned to the defense with all his might, noticing that Durant on the other side had rushed up, and the turtle threw the ball forward again.

Although the ball was a little too big, Durant, who was striding up, relied on his long arms, caught the ball in the air, and pressed the ball into the basket hard.

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

"Roar!!"

After landing on the ground, Durant shouted excitedly, in this round of the playoffs, such a counterattack appeared for the first time, and Coach Popovich couldn't stand it anymore and immediately asked for a timeout.

"Beautifully buckled! Bro！ ”

"The Spurs' defense is going to collapse, that's cool, we're going to advance!"

As soon as Li Ze returned to the bench, the atmosphere group had already swelled up and shouted, and everyone was excited when the opening game went so smoothly.

"Ginobili may have come on early after this timeout, but that would have been too much of a blow to George Hill, and he played so badly on both ends of the floor in the opening minutes."

"Popovich may not replace George Hill either, and the NBA has to talk about some sophistication, this year is his contract year, and he will definitely be given more opportunities."

The host Yang Jian and the guest Yang Yi have already brought up topics outside the competition...

The Spurs, who came back from the pause, still insisted on using their outside pass ball to solve the problem of the Thunder's joint defense, from Jefferson to Parker to George Hill, the Spurs turned the ball quickly, and this time George Hill got an open opportunity, and immediately jumped outside the three-point line.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net, and Popovich's psychological massage still worked.

The Thunder team didn't care either, and after quickly sending out the baseline ball, the turtle took two steps and immediately gave the ball to Li Ze, and this time George Hill's defense quickly posted up.

Li Ze's left hand suddenly in

and

out, quickly changed direction in front of the body, George Hill just adjusted the center of gravity of the defense, Li Ze dribbled back with his right hand, and then twisted his body, the extremely fast crotch of his left hand changed backwards, easily stuck half of his body, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

George Hill was chasing the defense with all his might, but Li Ze, who was moving, suddenly turned around, deftly shook off the defense, and noticed that Antonio under the basket had come over to help defend, and faked the real pass to Kostic who followed up, who received the ball and dunked it with both hands!

"Bang..."Eating bread under the basket succeeded.

George Hill, who had just made a three-pointer and was completely numb at this time...

"Oh!!"

The Ford Center Arena has turned into a sea of blue and white at this time, and the continuous violent dunks after the opening completely ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and everyone shouted excitedly:

“OKC！ OKC！ OKC！ ”

In the next few minutes, George Hill was invisible again, but fortunately, Parker and Duncan were still reliable, and the Spurs were able to bite the score.

The bald tough guy Jefferson also began to desperately chase down Durant, and with 3 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, he received his second foul.

Substitutions began on both sides, with the Thunder replacing Li Ze and Sovrosa coming on, and the Spurs replacing George Hill, who was not playing well, and Ginobili coming on.

As soon as Li Ze sat on the bench, Ibaka beside him immediately showed great hospitality and handed Li Ze's kettle.

"Kayce, I really didn't expect our offense to suppress the Spurs again, and after returning to Russia, the opponent's defensive intensity really dropped a lot."

"That's why everybody likes to play at home, don't worry, pay attention to the open opportunities and I'll find you."

Li Ze replenished his water and briefly admonished Ibaka.

"Thanks, Bro! I feel like I'm in good shape when I'm back at home, I'm going to hit the open shots! ”

Ibaka was overjoyed, the big guy was still thinking about me...

In the remaining minutes of the first quarter, the turtles, who were in good shape, suddenly exploded, and three unreasonable mid-range pull-up jump shots in a row gave the Thunder a lead, and at 26:30, the Thunder led by four points in the first quarter.

In the rotation phase of the second quarter, the Thunder still played the No. 1 position on the Thunder side, Sovrosa, Jeff Green, Ibaka, and Collison rotated on the court, and the Spurs' rotation lineup also became George Hill, Ginobili, Jefferson, Blair, and Antonio.

At the beginning of the 2nd quarter, George Hill breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally did not have to face Li Ze, the Thunder took the lead in attacking, Li Ze signaled Ibaka to block and dismantle, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

Ginobili squeezed through the cover very quickly, always flanking Li Ze physically, while Blair's defense began to move towards Li Ze.

Noticing the change in the Spurs' defense, he made a hidden back-to-back pass from his right hand and found Ibaka at the free-throw line, who received the ball and immediately jumped to the ground.

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

"The Thunder are blooming a little bit! As soon as the role player shoots, it is even more impossible to limit Li Ze, this pass is so beautiful! ”

Yang Yi felt that the overall situation had been decided, and in terms of the state of the Thunder's role players, if the Spurs couldn't withstand it in the second quarter, the game would be gone...

After the Spurs sent the baseline ball, Sofrosa directly led the defense of George Hill, and as a member of the team who was devastated by Li Ze in training, Sofrosa thought that he should have no problem defending George Hill.

Under the somewhat loose penalty scale at home, the Thunder team who rotated the lineup almost changed the defense on cover, the Spurs gave the ball to the inside line, and immediately boldly cut the ball, Antonio just received the pass, Collison went black, even the ball with his hand, and cut the ball hard.

After controlling the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Li Ze, and the Thunder team quickly launched a conversion attack, and before the Spurs could complain to the referee, they immediately retreated with all their might.

Li Ze dribbled quickly, noticed that Blair had come up to defend in advance, and his right hand was quickly in

and

out, the rhythm change accelerated to break through, just one step past the three-point line, suddenly dribbled behind his back, and stepped back to shoot a jumper.

"Hmm..."

The bulky Blair was shaken to the ground and watched as he converted a three-pointer to score.

"Whew!!"

The audience at the Ford Center Arena jumped up excitedly, coming and coming, Li Ze's converted three-point shot, a wave is coming! Everyone shook the white handkerchiefs in their hands and cheered for Li Ze's goal.

Popovich was yelling angrily on the sidelines, and the three people who showed the accident line must follow Li Ze...

"Converted three-pointers! Score! How do Spurs defend themselves? Li Ze's ability to combine balls is really amazing! ”

The host Yang Jian also sighed loudly, he now knows that such an opportunity is a good choice for Li Ze...

Ibaka's defense also let go of his hands and feet when he returned to the home court, and the Spurs broke through to the inside, Ibaka's sweeping defense would follow, and Blair seemed to want to use his weight to force the basket after receiving the ball, but Ibaka was easily capped.

The Spurs quickly retreated, and Li Ze used half court to make a gesture at Jeff Green, immediately passed the ball to the opponent, and then feigned to go over to play a hand.

Ginobili and Blair's attention was on Li Ze, when Jeff Green suddenly released the ball, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and faced Antonio's defense, a powerful one-arm dunk!

"Bang..."

As long as the score is ahead and there is no pressure, Jeff Green will show his eighteen martial arts skills excellently, and after the dunk is successful, he will stand on the sidelines and roar excitedly:

"Ahh

The fans at the scene also shouted, this is the Thunder team's offense, all kinds of breakthroughs and violent dunks, and everyone is bloody.

Popovich asked for a timeout again, he was going to replace Duncan, and if he didn't try hard, the game would be over...

On the Thunder's bench, Coach Brooks was also a little excited, he didn't expect the game to go so smoothly, seeing that the rotation players played well, he didn't make any more substitutions, but just shouted:

"Kayce, go all out on offense, protect the rebounds on the defensive end, and we'll try to get a big lead into the half!"

After returning from a timeout, Tony Parker took advantage of Duncan's high post block and scored two points at the top of the arc to help the Spurs stabilize the situation, but the Thunder quickly sent a baseline ball, and Li Ze took advantage of Ibaka's block and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

Noticing that Duncan's defense was shrinking inward, he flicked his wrist and hit the ball to Ibaka, who received the ball and immediately jumped to shoot without hesitation.

"Hmph...", another blow from a medium range.

Ibaka also clenched his fists with excitement after the goal, he was always plagued by fouls in away games, and his playing time was chopped to pieces, and he finally found his attacking feeling again after returning to Russian City.

In the second quarter of the game, more than 6 minutes were played, and the role players of the Thunder team, under the organization of Li Ze, burst out of their energy and successfully suppressed the Spurs' offense, and when Li Ze went off the break, the Thunder had a 12-point lead.

The rested Turtle and Durant also continued their excellent hand and withstood the Spurs' counterattack, 52:62, the Thunder led by 10 points at halftime, and the Russian City fans on the scene were completely happy, they were going to advance to the Western Conference semifinals!

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, both sides took back the main lineup, and the Spurs also replaced Ginobili on their side, and this is the decisive moment!

The Thunder played a double-cover cross-cut tactic for Li Ze in the opening game, and when Li Ze received the ball 45 degrees outside the three-point line, Duncan immediately switched to Li Ze.

Li Ze immediately crossed steps after receiving the ball, noticed that Duncan's defense moved back, and his right hand immediately pulled back from his hips, and at the same time made a feint of worshipping Buddha, and shook Duncan's center of gravity forward.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

"Oh!!"

The fans of the Russian City saw that the point difference had come to 13 points, and they immediately screamed excitedly, as long as they took the lead by a big score in the third quarter, the Thunder team never lost!

At this time, everyone on the court was no longer under pressure, covering shots, and off-ball air cuts were also played, and Durant broke out completely, with the blessing of the home whistle, he shot inside and out, and Jefferson had 5 fouls in the third quarter...

After the start of the 4th quarter of the game, the crazy turtle turtle also became more and more energetic, and hit consecutive stop-and-go jump shots, at this time Li Ze had already begun to smoke in the bottom corner, and in this game, the Thunder team played a perfect offensive performance.

In the end, at 96:118, everyone on the Thunder team showed no mercy and attacked hard...

This also made the Spurs simply shake hands after the game and then turn around and leave, losing to such a young rookie team, and the face was really unbearable...

The Ford Center Arena has been transformed into a sea of jubilation, and the fans of the city are frantically celebrating the team's victory, what an incredible season!

Li Ze got 20 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 turnovers, 3 steals and 1 block in the whole game, although the data was mediocre, he was also very excited at this time, and shouted loudly with his teammates:

"Western Conference Semifinals!! Here we go! ”
