On April 28, the first round of the playoffs G5 ended, the Lakers and Thunder in the West successfully advanced, and the Mavericks and Suns were once again pulled back by their opponents in the G5 game, and the big score came to 3:2.

In addition to the Magic team that has been swept through the East to advance, the Cavaliers and Celtics have also successfully eliminated their opponents on their home courts, and both teams have successfully advanced to the semifinals 4:1.

The Bucks played extremely fiercely in the battle of Tianwang Mountain in G5, and finally Delfino and Ilyasova hit key shots, coupled with Jennings' free throws, the Bucks turned the tables against the wind on the road and successfully won the battle of Tianwang Mountain 91:89.

Amika's media reporters have also been doing crazy things in the past two days, and on the second day of the Spurs' elimination, at the press conference held by the team, some reporters began to question Popovich's G5 start.

"No offense, but I want to ask why you would choose to put George Hill in the starting lineup in a key game like G5, and we all know he's played so badly in this series."

George Hill's statistics in G5 are 8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 turnovers, and such a crotch-pulling performance naturally attracted the attention of media reporters and ball critics, all of whom criticized George Hill's play after the game, believing that he ruined the Spurs' game.

Coach Popovich was furious when he heard the reporter's question, but his years of coaching experience still allowed him to control his expression and replied as usual:

"We can't define a player by a series, George is a very talented kid who fits perfectly into the Spurs' system, but I have to admit that he's not at All-Star level yet, and he still has room for improvement."

"As for why we let George go back to the start, because in the last game, Manu's physical exertion was too great, and he is about to be a 33-year-old veteran, and his physical recovery is not as good as that of a young man, which is why we let George start."

"Can you comment on Lee's play? He's been really good in this series, what do you think he can achieve in the future? ”

The ESPN reporter asked such a question, and stabbed Popovich in his injured heart, the corner of the old man's mouth twitched, and he almost scolded, Li Ze broke the Spurs' defense, what else is there to comment on...

"Achieving something like this in his rookie season reminds me of Tim Duncan, and like Tim, he has a legendary career as long as he stays healthy, and I'm excited to see a player like Lee in the league's next generation of players."

It's just that most of the reporters present heard such official clichés, and they had some helplessness in their hearts, and the old man's answer was not explosive, but the ESPN reporter was very satisfied when he heard such an answer, and immediately wrote in his accompanying notebook:

"The proud disciple was abandoned, Popovich admired Kayce more"

Anyway, at the beginning of a picture, the content is all up to the editor, and Amilika's reporters are good at distorting opinions and fabricating facts...

It's just that this news, Li Ze can't see it today, on the 28th, the league also announced the ROY (Best Rookie) of the 09~10 season.

With 58.8% of the vote, Li Ze easily crushed Stephen Curry, James Harden, Brandon Jennings, Tyrek Evans, and Ty Gibson.

The league also announced the best rookie lineup, and Li Ze was also selected for the best rookie team at the same time, what makes people unable to complain is that all 5 people in the first team are guards, and Ty Gibson was squeezed into the second team...

Although everyone has long known that there is no suspense in this award, seeing Li Ze's vote rate, the fans of the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean couldn't help but complain on the tiger pounce:

"Averaged 22.8 points per game

6.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.2 blocks, 1.2 turnovers, is there anyone who votes for other players with such data? Amerika's media reporters are too demanding! ”

"I've watched a few games of the Kings, James Harden's stats are definitely watery, and Stephen Curry is slowly brushing up."

"After all, they are local players, so they still have to give some face, otherwise they can't talk about it!"

"It's good to win the award, Li Ze has won all the awards that the rookie can win, this is too good, can he be selected for the best team this year?"

"It's too difficult for a while, there are Wade and Kobe Bryant on the guard line, these two Li Ze will definitely not be able to squeeze in!"

"It's okay to be selected for the second team, this is really the peak of debut, why is there no news of the national team recruiting Li Ze? Don't want these thighs anymore? If you come to play in Asia, you will definitely be able to easily score 30 points. ”

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs, the head coach of the national team hasn't decided yet, I think this matter is quite mysterious, I feel that Coach Guo is a little wronged after class, and the old players don't give the young marshal face!"

"Anyway, the World Championships will not affect the qualification for the Olympic Games, just win the Asian Championships next year, and it is good to play less games in the off-season..."

......

In order to receive this award, Li Ze deliberately wore a formal suit today, which is also a requirement of the NBA league, and the current president David Stern pays great attention to the appearance of the players, and when he receives the award, he has to wear a suit and tie...

After the awards, the league will also hold a small press conference for the winners, fortunately in the city of Russia to advance, this allows Li Ze to receive the award at the door of the house, the strongest rookie in the class of 09 is on his home team, the media in the city are overjoyed!

Li Ze was wearing a dark blue handmade suit, with a gray shirt and a dark blue tie, this set of clothes was also given to him by Beth recently, the cut was very decent, Li Ze in a formal suit looked completely different from usual, his temperament improved a lot, and he looked more and more handsome.

Li Ze looked at the best rookie trophy of the rectangular transparent crystal in his hand, with a bright smile on his face, but he couldn't help but complain wildly in his heart:

"It's so rudimentary, if you cut off the top of the Rookie of the Month trophy, it becomes the Rookie of the Year trophy! Except for a few drops, even the engraved font is similar to the previous one..."

The staff of the NBA league are extremely satisfied with Li Ze, look at this appearance, and have a fight with Hollywood stars, this is the image of the player that the league has been looking forward to.

The media reporters in the audience frantically pressed the shutter, which can be regarded as a historic moment, in case Li Ze really becomes a superstar of the league in the future, these photos may still become a hot item...

After posing several times in a row, it finally met everyone's needs, as soon as Li Ze sat down, the reporters in the audience began to ask questions enthusiastically, and the press officer on the Thunder team's side saw Li Ze nodding and immediately chose a local media in Russia:

"Kayce, congratulations on winning the Rookie of the Year award, all the fans in Osoa are very proud of you, can you briefly describe how you feel in Oyose? In fact, the fans are very concerned about your personal life. ”

Li Ze is very satisfied with this question, the local media is still relatively friendly, never does things, after a brief thought, he immediately said:

"I love this city, I've loved it since the day I tried out for the Thunder, I love the pace of life here, I feel the sincerity and enthusiasm of the Russian city fans, the city really feels like home to me, and I am very grateful for the support of the Russian city fans."

The local reporters in Russia were very satisfied with Li Ze's answer, and he deserved to be the core player of the Thunder team, that is, he could speak.

The press officer ordered another TNT media reporter, and the broadcast rights of the Western Games belong to TNT, and the interview still has to be given face.

"It's a really big deal, congratulations Kayce, you played really well in the first round of the playoffs, can you talk about what you expect from the team in the next games?"

"Of course it's the championship, although we are a rookie team, but I think the Thunder team has the strength to challenge for the championship, no matter who the opponent is, we will go all out, and the championship is our goal!"

At this time, the blonde big wave female reporter of ESPN on the side suddenly asked a somewhat sharp question:

"Congratulations Kayce, you've made good on your promise, and I'd like to ask you what you think of the MVP award, as everyone knows that the Thunder are only two wins behind the Cavaliers, and Kevin Durant is also No. 2 on the MVP shortlist."

"Who do you think is better suited for the MVP, LeBron James or Kevin Durant?"

After hearing this question, my first reaction was that this girl is not a good person! Seeing that the media reporters in the audience were all looking at him with a smile, Li Ze said directly with a smile:

"James is very good, and he still has a 63-win record despite the team's rough run in the early part of the season, which is a great achievement, but if I had the right to vote, I would still vote for Kevin."

"This season, the Thunder team has improved from 23 wins to 61 wins, and Kevin has won the scoring title this season with a shooting rate of more than 4 percent, in my opinion, this is an incredible season, and as a member of the Thunder team, I support Kevin to win the MVP."

At this time, Durant, who was watching the press conference at home, was also a little moved after hearing Li Ze's words, but when he thought about the competition he will face in the team next season, he thought helplessly:

"Kayce, how nice it is to be a Pippen, I'm sure I'll take you to the championship..."

After a busy morning, Li Ze finally completed the task arranged by the alliance, and when he returned to the mansion in the Russian city, he found that his good brother Kevin Lefu was exercising in the room, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and asked:

"Love, didn't you go fishing? Haven't you had a lot of fun these days? Why did I suddenly remember to exercise. ”

Several people at UCLA have been fishing in Russia recently, and many dangerous sports are prohibited due to the fact that NBA players have signed a lot of insurance agreements, which makes everyone have to fish and play golf in the offseason...

"Don't worry about me, Kayce, I saw what happened to George Hill and suddenly I had a sense of crisis in my heart, the contract year is too important for a player, I need to prepare in advance and wait until the contract is in hand."

Li Ze shook his head helplessly when he saw the fat man Lefu squeezing iron, the world of basketball sometimes seems very cruel, George Hill's contract will definitely be depressed by the Spurs, after all, the other party's performance in the playoffs is really stretched.

"Okay, there's still a long time in the offseason, there's no need to be strict with yourself too early, Russell and Nina will hold a baking Patry in the evening, do you want to go over and eat a little, this is also a party to celebrate the Thunder's successful promotion, the food is very rich."

After Lefu heard Li Ze's words, he directly put down the dumbbell in his hand and said happily:

"Cool! I love this kind of theme, I'm going to have a good meal tonight, and as for the workout, I think you're right, let's talk about it in July! ”

“......”

On April 29, an ESPN reporter reported that one of the Rockets' top targets in the free market is Chris Bosh, who may discuss a sign-and-trade with the Raptors, who are interested in George Hill.

As soon as this news came out, the fans on Amika's side were quite calm, but the rocket fans of the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean were very excited, this is going to heaven! The combination of Bosh and Da Yao also triggered a series of associations on the Hupu forum.

"This deal is really going to happen, the Rockets will definitely make the playoffs next season, this inside line is invincible!"

"It's a shame that Scola may be traded, but Persia is really a good fit for the Rockets, and it would be nice if we could strengthen the guard line as well."

"The most important thing is to send Tiezha away, he is not a core player at all, I don't want to see him lame dribbling again!"

"Come on, Bosh, it's too painful to watch the Rockets play this season, and if there's any news, hurry up and move it over."

"If this deal really succeeds, Da Yao also has hope to fight to the west, and I can't wait."

"Reaching the Western Conference finals is also being abused by volutes, Da Yao should join the Lakers! Team up with Volute to guarantee the championship. ”

"Get out, there's you guys everywhere, all the players joining the Lakers? The Lakers are the Suns, huh? I have to revolve around you, I have reported it, and I will seal it quickly, but don't come out disgusting. ”

The Thunder's coaching staff doesn't care about the boring gossip news, they just wait for the G6 results of the Mavericks and Nuggets tonight, and the Western Conference semifinals will begin on May 3, leaving the team with little time to prepare.

As expected, the Mavericks successfully defeated the Nuggets on the road, Carmelo Anthony was 6 of 22 in the game, and the unusually inefficient play made the game lose suspense early, 114:102, 4:2, and the Mavericks successfully advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

In another G6 game in the West, the Suns also easily defeated their opponents on the road, eliminating the Jazz with a big score of 4:2.

In this way, the matchup of the Western Conference semifinals is also completely clear, in May and February, the Lakers will face the Suns at home, and on May 3, the Thunder will face the Mavericks at home, and the top half of the teams will all advance, and they will start competing for a ticket to the Western Conference finals.

On April 30, only the Eastern Bucks and the Hawks were left in the first round of the playoffs, and the Hawks pulled one back on the road, and the score between the two sides came to 3:3, and G7 will start on May 2.

But whichever team wins, they'll meet the Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals, which isn't good news for either team.

The Thunder continued to practice in the morning and video in the afternoon, and the Brooks head coach and coaching staff adjusted the team's defensive strategy again in response to the Mavericks' style of play.

In the playoffs, the Mavericks are mainly in the 8-man rotation, and Jason Terry and Jose Barria on the bench are both small players, and both have a certain amount of projection ability.

Caron Butler in the starting lineup is also a noteworthy point, but the coaching staff is not worried about this, after all, with Li Ze, this group of alignments is the most reassuring!

It's just that for the Thunder's interior line, defending Nowitzki has become a big problem, and Nowitzki has begun to receive the ball frequently at the three-point line this season, which requires the Thunder's defense to keep up.

"Green, Ibaka, when the two of you are defending, once you chase the line, you have to remind your teammates to defend the Mavericks' air cut, and the others should not focus entirely on Nowitzki."

"Kevin, you have to pay attention to Marion's moves, Russell, you have to pay attention to Kidd's three-point shots, the job of the two of you is to protect your defensive area, and at the same time, if you encounter Nowitzki receiving the ball in the low post, remember to step forward and interfere."

"When defending, everyone has to respond, Kayce is in charge of keeping an eye on Caron Butler, and we have to change our defensive strategy according to the opponent's outside situation."

The coaching staff is explaining the Mavericks' offensive routines at this time, and at the same time reminding the players of the precautions for defense, Coach Brooks is very satisfied with the recent state of the players, everyone is not carried away by the victory, and they are still training steadily.

In particular, Li Ze's performance surprised the coaching staff, and everyone vaguely felt that Li Ze's ability to combine the ball seemed to be stronger, and after the Spurs' defensive baptism, the young people of the Thunder team have completely adapted to the playoffs.

By the end of the video lesson, everyone on the Thunder team looked relaxed, the boring defense was really unnerving, and the turtle also felt that he had a big head, and the simple marking was very simple for him, once it came to the bag clamp and rotation, he sometimes couldn't play...

Seeing Li Ze, who looked as usual, the turtle turtle said enviously:

"Kayce, why is it that you can easily complete the tasks of the coaching staff in every tactical training session?"

"Because this kind of defensive system is actually not complicated, when you are at UCLA, this coach may sometimes ask more, and in your freshman year, you are still the core of the team's outside defense."

After hearing Li Ze's words, Turtle Turtle suddenly remembered the past, there were too many small guards on Amika's side, Turtle Turtle was able to stand out back then, and it really relied on defense, but after coming to the NBA for a year, some good defensive habits have long been left behind by him...

"Well, it's really my problem, but I've regained my defensive feel this season and maybe I have a chance to be in the All-Defensive Team."

...

After the Mavericks finished their game against the Nuggets, Coach Carlisle and the coaching staff immediately devoted themselves to the study of the Thunder's lineup, tactical play, and defensive strategy.

Especially in the first round of the game between the Thunder and the Spurs, the coaching staff watched and studied repeatedly, trying to find out the weaknesses of the Thunder team's lineup.

"Rick, are we going to continue with our previous defensive strategy? If Butler is allowed to defend alone, will there be a problem? Eric and Brandon's defensive pace may also not keep up with the Thunder's offensive tempo. ”

"This is different from the previous Nuggets games, Avralo is not as aggressive as Lee in the matchup, and judging from the performance of the regular season, Caron Butler may not be able to play the offense we expect in the face of Lee's defense..."

Carlisle heard the assistant coach's words, and felt a little helpless, in the previous game with the Nuggets, due to Carmelo Anthony's poor outside projection, the Mavericks could even easily put up a 32 defense, just wait for Anthony to slap in.

But the Thunder team is different, the opponent is completely a team that focuses on outside projection, and once the situation cannot be opened, the Thunder team will begin to use the individual abilities of Li Ze and Durant to solve the problem, which is a double insurance in the eyes of Coach Carlisle...

"In the first game, we didn't change our defensive strategy for a while, Caron Butler was in very good form in the first round, kept the previous game plan, and all we had to do at this point was to believe in each other and give our full support to the team."

"As for the rotation, we may have to increase the playing time of some of the main players, just like we did in the regular season, in the rotation phase, we want to increase the tempo of the offense as much as possible, and we have the advantage in terms of outside shooting."

Coach Carlisle couldn't say anything frustrating at this time, and immediately sent out his own chicken soup for the soul, but when he thought of the five-forward lineup in the rotation stage of the Thunder, he was always a little uneasy, after all, the height of his own backcourt was too short...

"Hey, hopefully in the offseason, we can recruit an interior defensive gatekeeper so that we can solve a lot of problems, and we can't let Dirk wear too much on the defensive end."

Hearing the sigh of the assistant coach, Coach Carlisle did not speak, because in this matter, he was also a little powerless, and could only pray silently in his heart:

"I hope the team will keep the good feeling they had before..."

On May 1, the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Cavaliers and the Celtics officially began, and the Cavaliers, who were playing at home, under the leadership of LeBron James, successfully faced the visiting Celtics.

LeBron James played perfectly, with an efficient 35 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 turnovers, 3 steals and 2 blocks, 93:101, the Cavaliers got off to a good start at home.

Amika's media sang the praises of LeBron James after the game, it was so strong that the Big Three couldn't resist James's impact at all, and the Cavaliers fans also shouted wildly for their heroes, this is Cleveland's chosen son!

In addition to the report on LeBron James on this day, Sam Smith, an authoritative reporter on the NBA's official website, also broke the news that Carmelo Anthony is almost certain to join the Knicks!

As soon as the news came out, fans in Denver and New York immediately became in a ball, one side was convinced that Anthony would not leave Denver, and the other side shouted that no one would refuse to play at Madison Square Garden! Fans on both sides sprayed each other wildly on Reddit...

On May 2, the league's focus was once again on LeBron James, who successfully won the regular season MVP in the 09~10 season, and also held a press conference at the University of Akron.

Cleveland's local correspondent Wenhorst also posted a post praising it:

"The meaning of LeBron's press conference today is a preview of his free market choice! The Chosen One isn't going to leave Cleveland, he's going to bring us the championship! ”

The Western Conference semifinals between the Lakers and Suns were also played on this night, along with the Eastern Hawks and the Bucks' G7.

The result of the Western Conference semifinals was somewhat unexpected, 128:107, the Lakers easily defeated the Suns at home, and Kobe Bryant even exploded 40 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

Kobe Bryant's performance is like saying to everyone: I'm the best player in the league!

In the only G7 game of the first round, the Hawks had the last laugh, they successfully advanced to the Western Conference semifinals, Al Horford showed the strength of an All-Star player, but unfortunately, due to the explosive performance of the Lakers, most people have stopped paying attention to this game...

These days, all kinds of hot news continue to break out, which makes all the fans addicted, and for the Thunder, they only focus on the opponent in the next round, and everyone invariably turns off social media.

On the evening of May 3rd, a large number of Russian City fans gathered early at the Ford Center Arena, and everyone was in high spirits, and they will face the Dallas Mavericks at home tonight, which is the Western Conference semifinals! Russian fans have been looking forward to it for a long time.

The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean is still in the Labor Day holiday at this time, CCTV Sports naturally also broadcast the Western Semifinals, the host Yu Jia and the guest Zhang Weiping boasted Li Ze before the game, the game is about to start, and the host Yu Jia began to routinely ask:

"Coach Zhang, we talked so much about Li Ze before the game, but in this round of the series, which team are you more optimistic about?"

"If Caron Butler can play in the first round and average about 20 points per game, I am optimistic that the Mavericks will win this series, but if the outside line is dumb and Terry and Barria can't throw it in, then the Thunder will win!"

"From the point of view of the data, the Mavericks have more three-point shooting points, and they also shot about 36% in the first round, but the Nuggets' outside defense is a little less aggressive, and Afraro can't limit Caron Butler, but when he meets Lee, then it's not good."

The host Yu Jia was a little speechless when he heard Director Zhang's words, you are a two-headed block... After seeing the director's prompt, he said:

"Thanks to Coach Zhang's prediction, we've got the starting line-up for both sides tonight, with both sides in the regular rotation, with the Mavericks' Jason Kidd and Kaloon Butler in the backcourt, Sean Marion and Dirk Nowitzki on the frontline, and Eric Dampier at center."

"The two teams are about to enter, and we switch to the front."

Before the game, the Thunder were in the locker room, and Coach Brooks finally told his players:

"Guys, tonight, we have to protect our home field, as we have repeatedly emphasized in training these days, we have to do a good job of defending and rebounding, and pay attention to where the long rebounds land."

"We're just four wins away from the Western Conference Finals! All the fans in Russia are supporting us, come on! ”

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

When the home DJ began to introduce the home team, the Ford Center arena began to erupt into a huge wave, and in the away players' tunnel, the Mavericks didn't expect the fans of the Russian City to be so fanatical, which formed noise pollution...

When the entrance ceremony was over and the two sides had their final warm-up, the atmosphere at the scene was still very hot, the Thunder team was wearing a white home team uniform today, and the turtle was feeling the hot atmosphere of the home stadium while saying to Li Ze beside him:

"What if we lose at home? The fans will be disappointed. ”

Li Ze glanced at the turtle turtle in surprise, why was he suddenly sentimental... Feeling that his good brother was a little nervous, he immediately opened his mouth to comfort:

"Don't worry, with me, we won't lose at home!"

“......”

Jeff Green, who was on the side, almost laughed out loud when he heard Li Ze's words, he felt that the two were not on the same channel, but thinking of Li Ze's reliable performance, he also followed:

"yes, I don't believe Butler can contain Kayce, besides, we still have Kevin!"

Durant, who was concentrating on warming up, didn't hear Jeff Green's words, and his mother also came to watch the game today, which really made him a little nervous, after all, this is the Western Conference semifinals, and he has completely given up surfing the Internet in the past few days, just to have a good game condition...

When the referee signaled the players on both sides to come to the center of the field, Li Ze also went over to greet the Mavericks players briefly, and saw that Kaloon Butler was still staring at him with a fierce expression, Li Ze didn't care at all, and said with a smile:

"Come on, man! I hope you'll limit my offense. ”

Without the other party's reaction, Li Ze has returned to the Thunder's half, and he will run after loading X, which is a trick he learned from Chris Paul...

The game started immediately, Kostic and Dampier jumped the ball in the center circle, and both sides bent their knees slightly, staring at the basketball in the referee's hand.

"Smack..."

Kostic successfully jumped the ball for the Thunder, and the crowd at Ford Center stood up and began cheering for the home team, led by the live DJ:

“OKC！ OKC！ OKC！！ ”

The Thunder attacked for the first time, and the turtle quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, making offensive gestures, signaling Jeff Green and Kostic to come to the line and make a double cover for Durant.

As soon as Durant started, Marion next to him immediately posted up, quickly squeezed past Jeff Green's cover, and continued to chase Durant, although the 32-year-old Marion has slipped a little, but the defensive end is unusually spicy, when Durant receives the ball, he has been squeezed out of the three-point line.

The Thunder immediately ran to open up space for Durantra, and at the same time, Kostic mentioned the high post again, wanting to continue to block and dismantle for Durant, Marion guarded Durant's right hand, and when Durant broke through on the left, Marion squeezed through again and chased after him.

Coach Carlisle nodded secretly from the sidelines, which is why the Mavericks were able to win against the Nuggets, and Marion's restriction on Anthony contributed to it.

After Durant dribbled the ball with his left hand and took two big steps, he was forced to stop the ball without a chance, and noticed that Li Ze had moved towards him, and immediately passed the ball out, and at the same time quickly bounced out.

After Li Ze received the ball at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, he immediately broke through with the ball in his right hand, felt the physical confrontation given to him by Caron Bart on his side, and suddenly dribbled behind his back while traveling, and at the same time bounced back with his feet.

After noticing that Caron Butler's defensive center of gravity moved forward, his body twisted slightly, his left hand quickly changed direction under his crotch, and the ball in his right hand accelerated with all his might, completely shaking off the defense, and making a jump shot at the free throw line.

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

"Oh!!"

The audience immediately cheered for Li Ze's goal, and the perfect opening first attack, everyone frantically shook the white handkerchief in their hands, and began to shout for the home team's defense again:

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！！ ”

"The Maverick can't restrain Li Ze from this defense, he can't defend it! It's a lot of fun! ”

When Director Zhang saw Li Ze hit the shot at the beginning, he was immediately in a happy mood and immediately started blowing...

The Mavericks' offense, Kidd dribbled through the halfcourt and immediately played a pick-and-roll with Dirk Nowitzki, and after dismantling, he hit the ground and passed to Nowitzki outside the three-point line, at which point Jeff Green's defense also posted up.

At this time, Caron Butler wanted to go up to the line to play a hand-to-hand hand, but Li Ze completely covered the opponent with his body, never giving the opponent a chance to catch the ball, and after two reverse runs, he still failed to shake off Li Ze.

Nowitzki also spotted the problem, and immediately released the ball quickly with his right hand, while protecting the ball, while moving to the right, Kidd immediately went over to respond, the Mavericks reorganized the offense, Dampier made a cover without the ball, and Kidd immediately passed the ball to Nowitzki, who asked for the ball in the low post.

Nowitzki faced Kostic, who was switching, and after three threats, he quickly released the ball with his right hand, and after dribbling a step, he turned around and threw a backward jumper.

"Hmm..."

The ball drew a huge arc in the air and crashed into the net, scoring two points.

"Oh!"

The audience at the scene also let out an exclamation, the ball did not look like it was scored at all, but it turned out to be hollow into the net.

When Coach Brooks saw such a situation, he shook his head helplessly, he couldn't prevent it, he could only expect the opponent to feel bad...

The Thunder quickly sent a baseline ball, because Durant was heavily defended by Marion, this offense, Jeff Green on the line quickly moved to the bottom corner of the right side, and Li Ze received a pass from the turtle in the left waist position after making a cross cover with the opponent.

Caron Butler stared at Li Ze deadly, and at the same time put his forearm on Li Ze, as if he wanted to use his arm to predict the direction of Li Ze's action.

Li Ze naturally knew the opponent's defensive strategy, leaned back hard, quickly released the ball with his right hand, and after dribbling to the line, he immediately turned around and threw a jumper.

"Huh..."The back is picturesque.

"Ahh

Such a dashing goal is exactly what the fans of the Russian city want to see, and the audience cheered for Li Ze's goal again.

Caron Butler already felt that something was wrong at this time, Li Ze had too many offensive methods, he couldn't predict the opponent's next move, and then thought of what he encountered on the offensive end, and a sense of foreboding suddenly appeared in his heart...

Coach Brooks applauded next to him and gave Li Ze a thumbs up, this is the Thunder's offensive strategy in this game, pressing defense, solving the offense in 14 seconds, and they want to completely speed up the pace of the game.

After more than 6 minutes, the two sides started an offensive battle, the Thunder side passed the half, covered the opportunity to shoot quickly, and the Mavericks were the same, Jason Kidd firmly controlled the team, coupled with Nowitzki's excellent play, successfully bitten the score.

At the official timeout, at 16:18, both sides played excellent offense, but Coach Carlisle didn't want to see such a situation, the Thunder's offense was too smooth, Caron Butler couldn't limit Li Ze, a little collapse, a little blossom...

After the timeout, Li Ze did not increase the number of shots he made, but kept feeding the ball to Jeff Green and Kostic, who would play well in the first save and enter downwind mode, and the rest of the game would be much better.

Coach Brooks replaced Li Ze with 3:42 left in the first quarter, and Soflosa came off the bench.

"Well done, Kayce, keep up the rhythm of the attack!"

Li Ze sat on the bench, and Coach Brooks immediately praised the team's thighs, and Durant didn't play well at the beginning, thanks to Li Ze helping the team stabilize the situation.

"The Thunder's substitution adjustments have been advanced a lot, and it seems that they want to make a fuss about the rotation lineup, and this game seems to be an offensive battle."

The host Yu Jia didn't expect Li Ze to leave the game so soon, and couldn't help but wonder about the Thunder's substitution adjustment.

In the remaining minutes of the first quarter, the Turtles stepped up again to help the team score, facing veteran Kidd with two consecutive unreasonable pull-up jumpers, and then back-to-back free throw line, which allowed the Thunder to withstand the Mavericks' outside shots.

At 32:34, the two teams played high scores in the first quarter, and the Thunder temporarily led by two points.

At the break, Coach Brooks immediately laid out the tactical arrangement loudly:

"Cover for a change of guard! Kayce, shoot when you get the chance, we're going to have an offensive climax in the second quarter! ”

Carlisle head coach is also telling Barria and Jason Terry:

"Shoot when you get a chance after the pick-and-roll, Haywood, Marion, you two must pay attention to defensive rebounding!"

After the start of the second quarter, the Mavericks attacked for the first time, and after Barria dribbled through the half, he immediately played a high-post block with Haywood, but Li Ze squeezed through agilely, always using his height advantage to completely cover the opponent.

Jason Terry saw that his teammates couldn't get the ball, and immediately stepped forward to respond, but Soflosa's defense was always on his side, and the Mavericks' outside was forced to move the ball continuously, but the Thunder's defense rotated very quickly, and the limitations of the small guard were immediately magnified.

24 seconds as an example! The Thunder put together an excellent defense.

“

Good

job！ ”

Li Ze loudly encouraged his teammates, he had to be so guarded and oppress their little defenders to death!

When the Thunder attacked, Li Ze quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, noticed that Caron Butler's defense was posted again, and immediately passed the ball to Sofrosa on the right side outside the three-point line.

Using Ibaka's cover, a simple UCLA cut, Soflosa's pass was also quickly in place, and Li Ze directly accelerated to break through after receiving the ball, facing Caron Butler's defense, his right hand suddenly turned around, instantly cut into the basket, and his left hand lightly put the basket to win.

"Oh!!"

Seeing such an easy goal, the crowd at Ford Center immediately erupted in huge cheers!

The Mavericks' offense, this time Jason Terry and Haywood played a high block, but Collison and Sofrosa directly wrapped up, forcing Jason Terry to make a mistake, the Mavericks were forced to quickly return to defense, and Li Ze quickly dribbled through the half.

Outside the three-point line on the left side, he noticed Barria in front of him, and his left hand was in

and

After the out, he suddenly accelerated, dribbled quickly behind his back in the middle of the march, ignored Ballia's defense, and made a jumper shot from the outside of the three-point line.

"Huh...."The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

"Ahh

Converting three points, the fans of the Russian City instantly screamed, this is Li Ze's unique offensive rhythm, and a wave of the Thunder team is coming.

Jason Terry was already a little upset at this time, and the offense was not going well for two consecutive rounds, coupled with the Thunder's defensive moves getting bigger and bigger, this time after the offense was blocked outside the three-point line in the half, he quickly jumped to shoot.

"Bang...", a rage!

The long rebound popped up, Sofrosa took it directly, and as soon as it was passed to Li Ze, the Thunder's transition offense was launched again, and this time Caron Butler quickly faced Li Ze,

But Li Ze paused slightly with his left hand outside the three-point line, and suddenly worshiped Buddha, which made Caron Butler's defensive center of gravity involuntarily move forward, and his left hand changed direction slightly in front of his body, and he accelerated with the ball in his right hand, easily getting rid of the opponent's defense.

As soon as Heywood under the basket came back to his senses, he found that Li Ze had taken off, and after jumping up subconsciously, he instantly felt that his body was unbalanced, and flew out directly, watching Li Ze burst with one arm in the air!

"Bang..."Murderous breakthrough buckle!

"Ahh

After landing on the ground, Li Ze roared loudly, which instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and the fans in the Russian city began to shout wildly! A wave of flow!

"Squeak..."

Coach Carlisle quickly called a timeout, and when he saw the depressed rotation on the bench, he couldn't help but feel a big start:

"The little defender is not working, this game is a bit unbearable..."
